In my opinion, among the sample food supplements, it is the best product to comply with
the required information on a dietary supplement label in local setting since it is the only locally
produced supplement which has the word supplement and the phrase No Approved
Therapeutic Claim. However, the company should change the said phrase to MAHALAGANG
PAALALA: ANG (name of the product) AY HINDI GAMOT AT HINDI DAPAT GAMITING
PANGGAMOT SA ANUMANG URI NG SAKIT.
